I'm so glad you guys did this kind of episode! Going to be kind of a difficult Christmas for me this year, but hearing you guys reminisce about past Christmas's and gifts made me remember some great ones as a kid. 1989, 6 years old, Christmas Eve at my grandparents house, I opened a Fire House and Ecto-1A and remember my dad, grandpa and uncles putting it all together and the stickers on them. There's an old VHS tape my mom has of me playing with it in front of the fireplace and Christmas tree. Other than getting stuff for my kids as an adult, that was my most memorable and favorite Christmas as a kid. Happy Holidays to you guys and Ryan!
19:18 Oh wow, I got the one to beat. As a kid I had a Jurassic Park birthday, and all my gifts were Jurassic Park toys, and there was one big one that I was sure it was the Command Compound Playset. It was kind of shaped like the playset so I was stoked. They even made me open it last. My step grandpa (who got it for me) had me close my eyes while I opened it and Im tearing off the paper and what feels like a garbage bag? And as I tear into it I hear people gasp and laugh, and then I feel fur and I open my eyes and ITS, a taxidermied raccoon! 🦝 I stood there bug eyed and half smiling as I stare at this dead nightmare instead of my playset (which I then realized wouldve been box shaped 😑) I had it for years as a courtesy until enough time passed that I sold it at a garage sale. 😅
SNL Xmas sketches: You're a Rat Bastard, Charlie Brown, Twin Bed, Debbie Downer, Steve Martin's Christmas List, Schweddy Balls. Funny story about the Hep-B shot - I kinda agree with your mom. My school nurse was the front desk secretary, I'd say hell no, too, if that was the case for you. But I got all my childhood shots from my pediatrician who had a doctorate and stuff.
I can assure you im not a simple person Jacob😂.. it's a film about decades before us. It's funny. We keep it in the background while eating and opening gifts. You guys really project when you don't like something sometimes. Like it's gospel.
I may have to leave the YHS family. I am very pro-unwrapped gifts from Santa. Walking out of my room in the early morning, turning the corner, and seeing a “billboard” of Dino-Riders box art stacked to the ceiling (in my head) was way better than mindlessly tearing through some bad Xmas paper. I can always remember that image. I can’t remember any wrapping paper. 😂
Shaving cream wars and getting egged is regular part of NYC Halloween. Kids are restricted from buying those items around Halloween. People walk around with eggs in their trick or treat bag. Growing up in the 80s and 90s was dope in a big city.
Interestingly I also tried to watch the Family Stone for the first time today and also gave up at around the 40 minute mark. I can't recall the last time I abandoned a movie, but it was so poor and just was not getting any better as it went along.
I feel like this is a YHS kind of connection. I worked at Blockbuster in 2005, and was inundated, bludgeoned even, with The Family Stone advertisements on our in-store screens. I still randomly think of Rachel McAdams’ pursed lips signifying family drama. I saw that trailer so many times that I began to believe it was a movie I needed to see. And as you’ve noted, I was thoroughly misled.
Isn’t the whole theme of It’s a Wonderful Life that Jimmy Stewart spent all his time on others, lost his love for life, needs to be reminded that he matters, and that as such we all matter? I never got narcissism from that. To each their own, I can understand it being overly sentimental…but that’s as much a preference as anything else. You guys love your horror movies, and you bend over backwards to sanctify them as art and not simple primal release, not sure it’s entirely fair to call people who like old fashioned films “simple”. End of the day, you guys love people being pulled apart in detail but not sentimentality, that’s cool, but why judge? Just odd to take the sanctimonious route here. Regardless though, appreciate y’all’s takes in general. Hope I haven’t said too much, don’t want to attract smoke. Love the show.
They've never struck me as the brightest trio. They probably don't even understand the plot. I watch horror all the time but I still like It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th St., and A Christmas Carol every year.
This year was the culmination of Jacob’s year long birthday. I loved that made it a full year and was embraced by the viewers. A continued Happy Birthday, Jacob!

Would've liked the airing of grievances

Finally Watched Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas and Loved it. Now I can’t decide if I need the figures or not lol.

Jacob: Skeleton Crew was originally pitched as a movie between Spider-Man 1-2 movies by Watts then it evolved into a show.

@@PostmortemBirththat’s funny considering that I have Ph.D.'s in parapsychology and psychology.

Holy shit I’m dying laughing at hepatitis B story. 🤣 Do it right? You stick a needle in a vein, it’s not a sudoku. 😂
One Christmas Santa gave me a card with an IOU for a Teddy Ruxpin to be delivered the following year 🪦
Did you get it?
